Vegetable and sweetfish tempura set meal (temporary image)

Tempura

Seafood and vegetables in a light, crisp batter.

天ぷら

Tempura is shrimp, fish and seasonal vegetables fried in a thin batter. It comes as a set with rice and miso soup, on top of a rice bowl (tendon), or on noodles.

Dip it in the warm tentsuyu sauce with grated daikon, or just sprinkle a little salt.

Good to know

  • At a tempura counter pieces arrive one by one, straight from the oil. Eat them while hot.
